Select

Let's talk about this:
SELECT * FROM user WHERE id = 1;
Maybe we really do want all the user's data, but most of the time we don't really need to retrieve the user's createdAt and updatedAt fields. We certainly wouldn't want to get their password (which of course would not be a part of the User model and certainly wouldn't be stored in plaintext, but this is the wrong workshop to get involved in that discussion).
So instead, you normally want to be more selective about what you're retrieving:
SELECT id, name, email FROM user WHERE id = 1;
The same thing applies with Prisma. By default, if you don't have a select, Prisma will return all the fields on the model. But you can be more selective about what you want to retrieve:
const user = await prisma.user.findUnique({
	select: { id: true, name: true, email: true },
	where: { id: 1 },
})
Let's migrate our Profile page to use our prisma client and select only the fields we need for our UI.
select is also applicable for create and update operations as well. If you don't care about the return value of an operation, then I recommend you specify a select that only returns the id field. This will reduce the amount of data that needs to be returned from the database and will improve performance of your application.
So once you're finished with the Profile page, go back to the seed script and add a select to the two create calls there.
